How do I tell if i added a sdk as a binary dependency as referred to in the Apple Privacy docs?

In https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements/ it says "Signatures are also required in these cases where the listed SDKs are used as binary dependencies. " As I am clueless regarding the technicalities of how sdks are added to a host app, the term binary dependency means nothing to me.
For reference, our app uses Cocoapods to install all of the sdks.

So far in my digging i found this documentation for identifying binary dp, but for Swift packages: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/identifying-binary-dependencies

i am guessing the idea there is the same as in sdks added using cocoapods?
